all images watercolor on paper by Barry Margolin
. . .
these
pictures explore visual metaphors for overlapping ideas drawn from current
advances
in particle physics (our emerging understanding that our known
universe must
be but one among countless distinct environments in the larger
cosmos, each
built with its own set of fundamental physical laws and constants
from among
the 10500 possible sets that emerge from contemporary string
theory),
and the ancient Buddhist philosophies of impermanence and dependent
origination,
that appear increasingly congruent with contemporary cosmology.
